Day 64
Learning note · Week 10 · 30 May 2026
What shipped: Got the toddler game app mostly completed and renamed it to Learn Counting because the games inside finally feel fun and clear enough.
Lesson learned: The biggest learning is not just how to ship a Flutter game faster with AI, but how different tools change the way I think, design, and keep momentum.
Full note
Learn Counting is now close to complete. The app started as a toddler math game, but the more I built and tested it, the clearer the name became. The games are really about helping kids enjoy counting, comparison, fruit recognition, and simple number practice.
Renaming it made the product feel more honest. It is not trying to be a big learning platform. It is a small, playful app that helps my child practice early numbers in a way that feels cheerful and repeatable.
The next step is to hook it properly into the main BuildingPlanB site for the web version. I also need to slow down and digest what I learned from building it with different AI tools, because the workflow itself became one of the most valuable parts of the product.
This build showed me that AI can speed up execution a lot, but the product still needs human judgment: what to keep, what to rename, what feels fun, what feels too much, and when something is actually ready to show.
